CNBlue Rocking in the USA!

The K-PopRock wave has once again reached the shores of the United States. FNC group CNBlue is currently in the Big Apple having just finished the first concert of their U.S. Blue Moon tour on January 21st.

Despite frigid temperatures, fans waited out in the cold for almost 7 hours in hopes of seeing them. Good lord! Those are some dedicated Boices! They weren't disappointed though as CNBlue rocked the house for a good 2 hours straight which one fan called "amazing!".

Group member Jung Shin took to the outdoors yesterday to catch some photos of New York City. The group is traveling to warmer California for the next stop of their tour in Pasadena at the Civic Auditorium there. Tickets are still on sale, so if you haven't gotten a ticket yet, you're still in luck. Click here to go to the AXS site. The concert is set for Friday, January 24th at 8pm. Will someone please take some good photos if possible?

CNBlue and FT Island at Summer Sonic 2013

FNC Artists CNBlue (Top) and FT Island (Bottom) circa 2012

FNC is promoting both of their top artists once again! K-PopRock groups CNBlue and FT Island have been selected as the South Korean representatives and will be performing at the Summer Sonic concert in Japan on August 10th and August 11th.

These two have basically made FNC popular in the K-Pop mainsteam with their more edgier rock type of tunes and soulful voices. Not to mention both groups have men full of youthful energy and charisma.

They will be performing with a lineup of superstars such as Muse (FT Island's Leader Choi Jong Hun likes to listen to them a lot!), Linkin Park (one of my personal faves) and Metallica!

Summer Sonic tickets for the July 11th show are already sold out. Get them while they're still available if you can!

CNBlue's Minhyuk Shares A Sneak Peek On Tour

I hardly come across anything other than photos of CNBlue, and most of them are press related photos. But when they posted a video on their Facebook page, I immediately went to take a look.

In the video, drummer Min Hyuk shares a sneak peek on his cam of some of the backstage goings on during the "Blue Moon" tour.

Here's the link below, take a look!

CNBlue Wraps Up Blue Moon Concert in Manila!

I've been so wrapped up in We Got Married drama that I didn't post this earlier!

I've been seeing the promos for CNBlue's Blue Moon Arena Tour for this summer and I saw that the hardworking rockers of CNBlue have been busy. They had a stop in Sydney, Australia (where it was super hot according to leader Yong Hwa) and now have posted these awesome photos their concert from Manila, the Philippines.

It looks like the guys really brought the house down!

CNBlue Comeback

I just wanted to say that I am so excited for January 14th to come. It's one day closer to pay day AND it's the day CNBlue will be coming out with their next mini album, Re: Blue.

Since the boys have been touring Asia and Europe a lot, they've been garnering a lot of attention and especially fans. Here in the States it's still taking us a while to catch on. But at least we know about them thanks to the Mnet Nokia Standup Concert in March of last year.

The concept looks interesting and they've been promoting the album crazily, showing how hard they've been working by tweeting a lot more.

Get ready for something great Boice fans! I know the guys won't let us down!

Oh it would have been a perfect time to visit Korea this month and next month. You know they will be doing the comeback stages on all the major shows!

Seolhyun Will Play Jung Shin's Girlfriend

I seem to remember not even a year ago, that a waif like girl by the name of Seolhyun graced an FT Island music video with her grace and style. (She was Lee Hong Ki's girlfriend in "Severely"). She played a young, aspiring dancer that was supposedly killed in one version of reality. Hong Ki goes back in time to try to prevent that from happening.

Fast forward to months later. Now, Seolhyun, with her newly debuted girl group, AOA (Ace of Angels) is working hard for their fan's appreciation. She's practicing hard and singing her heart out. And the group has a couple of singles under their belt to prove their worth in the industry.

Soon, Seolhyun will be flitting onto the screens of viewers all over again as it was announced that she has been cast in the drama, "My daughter Seoyoung". She will join CNBlue bassist, and fellow agency member, Lee Jung Shin on set and will play his girlfriend!

She's stated: “I’m really happy to be cast in ‘My Daughter Seoyoung’ because I watch it all the time. I worked really hard during the audition because I really wanted the role and I’m really happy because I got good results. I’m nervous because it’s my first drama, but I feel safe because I’ll be with Jungshin sunbaenim. He’s a big strength. I’m going to work hard and practice a lot.”

She was certainly charming in "Severely". Let's see if she can continue that charm onto TV to help this drama succeed.

CNBlue Going to London!

Are you ready London?? Make some noiiise!! As I posted earlier, one of my favorite bands, CNBlue, will be holding it's first concert in London, England on September 22nd. That's this weekend already! How exciting!

The group is getting ready to leave South Korea. I'm sure the fab four has a great concert planned and I hope their fans in Europe mop up whatever tickets are left over.

The guys will be nervous being in a new country and all, so please be kind to them. And don't forget to rock out!

Jung Yong Hwa, Lee Jong Hyun, Lee Jung Shin, Kang Min Hyuk, hope you won't be scared. Have fun, do your best! CNBlue, hwaiting!

CNBlue Members Yong Hwa and Jung Shin feel short?!

Most people would feel short when standing next to the 6'1" Lee Jung Shin and 5'11" Jung Yong Hwa of Korean rock band CNBlue.

But both seemed like the average joe's height after a photo of the two members were tweeted from CNBlue's Official Twitter account.

Both were standing between Korean Olympic volleyball players Kim Yeon Kyung and Yang Hyo Jin (both are over 6 ft. tall). All looked adorable next to each other, except for the fact that the two women had to bend down a bit to take the picture.

It's kind of odd to see since I have never seen Korean volleyball players. I had no idea that they were that tall! And on another note, I knew Yong Hwa had always considered himself short compared to the other members of CNBlue. In an earlier interview, he mentioned that while shooting the cover to their album, "Bluetory", he felt self-conscious since the other group members had to lean back against the wall in order to slouch a little bit. Yong Hwa was the only one standing straight up. But considering that he is 5'11", I think he has nothing to be self-conscious about.

Although the group has been on break for a little while, they certainly seem to be keeping themselves busy.

In fact, be on the lookout for Jung Shin in a drama that will be coming out within the next month or two. I believe it's called "My Daughter Soyoung" and it is said that Jung Shin has been cast as one of the main characters.

The members will be heading over to bright ol' London, England for a performance on September 22nd and tickets are now on sale. If you would like the link, please see my post "CNBlue London Concert Tickets on Sale". The link to AEG's site is located near the bottom of my post.
